I moved to 8 and then 10 after my Windows 7 got really flaky--as in losing data flaky. I actually prefer 8.1, but have found 10 much more stable than 7.
Two of my [adult] sons are still on Windows 7 and keeping their laptops running well is becoming a chore. I've had mixed experiences upgrading laptops and neither wants to take that gamble (both need new laptops, but I'm not paying for them.)

Losing data due to the OS? As opposed to flaky RAM or HD...

The symptoms were similar to a bad SATA controller, but I've had no problems with Windows 10 and so was left scratching my head.
One possibility is that it was a combination of SATA controller, driver and rev of the HD firmware. (There was such an issue several years back with a line of Seagate SATA drives and an AMD chipset, though the symptoms were slightly different.)

Better than Android updates which don't warn you of anything except that they want more permissions.

That depends on the version of android. Nowadays, you get a lot more control -- and android's not as security-critical a system as your PC OS, anyway (I mean, I don't even take selfies for people to steal).
I'm not saying that it's perfect, but at least it's going in the right direction, not the completely opposite one.
And if you install this[^], I think you'll be pleasantly surprised (I prefer it to similar apps that require root) (The first thing I denied was the Google app).

After the help you all provided to my VB or C# query, I would like to know what version control system you would recommend.
I have used VisualSVN in the past, when I have remembered, so maybe I need one that can be set up to do it automatically. Although, thinking about it, maybe VisualSVN can but I haven't explored that far.

I used to use VisualSVN server with the Ankh SVN VisualStudio Plug-in.
Then moved to Git.

Dave - curious, and your opinion after you went to Git? I went to SVN something like 6 years ago when I could no longer trust VSS.

It was a bit of an initial learning curve moving to Git, but now with the Git for Windows and the VisualStudio integration, it is relatively straight forward. I have never really used source control for anything hardcore or multi-user so more for single dev backup and code transfer between PC and Laptop.

Tortoise SVN with ANKH SVN as addin also good

You may want to try that.SourceTree | Free Git and Hg Client for Mac and Windows[^]Or you can do all of your Git from the command console. Some people like that too.
I've used SourceTree a bit and find it fine. First used a year or so ago. With Git I've tended to use a combination of command line, VS Integration and something like SourceTree depending on context.
At work at the moment (contract assignment) it's TFS. When I last used Subversion it was mainly TortoiseSVN and a bit later tried Ankh.

If your development are distributed geographically and / or work from home then Git may the better solution as it is a distributed version control system (DVCS). Otherwise it depends on what you currently have and what you have used previously.
I've used SVN with Tortoise and loved it. I now use TFS 2015 and have to admit (coming from someone who used to dislike TFS) that it's come a long way and is now a really decent version and application life-cycle management tool.

Recently I was collaborating remotely on a project with a colleague and this worked well - Git + Bitbucket + Slack + Skype.

Nice. We use Slack too for all collaboration and we also push all our build notifications through Slack too. As Slack has so many integration points it can be extended to work with almost anything

Yes, we were doing that, or rather colleague was at his end as he had the permissions to set it all up.

As others have said, if you have to leave your office from time to time and work remotely then you should definitely switch to GIT or any other distributed sc.

Not sure if you're only thinking about SVN, but since others have recommended GIT I guess Perforce[^] deserves a mention too.
It is free to use for upto 5 users and 20 workspaces. So for really small teams it can be used for free.
I think it has a clean interface (but maybe that's just because I've used it for a while and become used to it).
So unless you plan to do distributed development, Perforce might be worth considering.
